Cooking with kids: fried rice

My five-year-old granddaughter loves Japanese food, especially when she is able to go to a restaurant where they cook right in front of her. She is particularly impressed with the “volcanoes” that erupt in the midst of the grill.

Perhaps her love of Japanese food prompted her selection of this recipe for fried rice from the Calilou game site on pbskids. It is simple and something you can certainly cook with your children and/or your grandchildren.
